Product Information

Richey, J. (2018, March). Colorescience. How does sunscreen work to protect your skin?. Retrieved February 16, 2023. Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator is the first invention from mums and great friends Kelli Aspland and Laura Waters. Avoid Mixing: Do not mix different types of suntan lotions unless you are certain they are compatible. Mixing can affect the efficacy and stability of the product.

The sun is on the left. In the middle, a blue rectangle represents a cuvette filled with sample. On the right, an orange box represents the UV meter. A yellow line from the sun to the UV meter represents the sunlight shining on the UV sensor. The line color gets lighter after passing through the cuvette due to UV light absorption of the sample. Today I’m going to be reviewing the Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator. I was sent this last August, but by the time I was ready to try it out the great British Summer abruptly ended. So, after nearly a year later I can finally test and write about this gadget by Kelli Aspland and Laura Griffin who invented the Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator. Set a timer for one minute and start it. Then swirl the water around in the bag. Make sure the water covers your finger. This simulates entering the water right after applying sunscreen.Store the decanted lotion in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent air exposure It is important to note that with the UV meter you do not directly measure the absorbance of your sample. Absorbance means how much light gets absorbed by your sample. What you measure with the UV meter is the amount of light passing through the sample, which is called transmittance. The absorbance has a logarithmic relationship to the transmittance. You can use Equation 2 to convert a value from percent transmittance (%T) to absorbance. Label a fresh pipette as "water." This will prevent the pipettes from getting mixed up later. With the pipette, add 10mL of water to each labeled mini cup. Swirl the cup or use two fresh spoons to mix the solutions in each cup. Observe what happens in each cup and record your observations. Launched in 2015, Solar Buddies makes a refillable sponge applicator that people can fill up with a sunscreen of their choice, clean out when done and reuse again. The sponge ring helps kids rub the lotion into their body, leaving no residue behind because they’ve been overzealous when squirting the sunscreen onto their hands. The Beer-Lambert law says that the absorbance of light by a chemical in a solution is equal to the product of the chemical's concentration, the path length of light in the container (l) in centimeters, and the molar absorption coefficient (formerly referred to as the "extinction coefficient"). The size of the molar absorption coefficient reflects how well the molecule absorbs light of a given wavelength.

A blue line on top of the skin represents the physical sunscreen. Red arrows representing sunrays hit the physical sunscreen layer, then reflect away from the skin.Cleanliness: Ensure both bottles are clean. If using a previously used bottle, wash it thoroughly and let it dry completely before transferring the lotion. This standard is a 1:10 dilution of standard #1 and has a sunscreen concentration of 0.03g per 10mL water.

No cannibalisation of existing products – as Solar Buddies is so unique there is no need for you as a retailer to remove a product from your range to make room. Solar Buddies is a child friendly sunscreen applicator with a sponge and roller ball partnership. It is refillable, allowing the consumer to use a sunscreen of choice, and allows for ease of use so helps with dexterity and sensory issues. No more messy hands and great for kids in school to teach the importance of skincare, sun care, and reapplying sunscreen. Kelli and Laura worked with Cardiff Metropolitan University to come up with the design. When businesses have this sort of relationship with an academic organisation, it’s likely there would be some sort of IP ownership agreement and/or non-disclosure agreement in place.Now that you have learned all about the different types of sunscreens and their chemicals, are you curious about how your sunscreen performs in terms of its eco-friendliness and reef safety? This standard is a 1:2 dilution of standard #3 and has a sunscreen concentration of 0.0075g per 10mL water.

Honestly, it so easy to use and best of all, you get even, complete skin coverage for better sun protection. Prepare one set of standards and complete the following steps for each water-soluble sunscreen. Note: If only one of your sunscreens was water soluble, you will prepare eight standards for this sunscreen. If both sunscreens were water soluble, you will prepare an additional eight standards for the second sunscreen. With a permanent marker, label eight mini cups with the numbers 1–8. You can use different colored markers for different sunscreens.I would highly recommend having a chat with a professional legal adviser so you know all your rights and what you could apply for at the IPO to best cover your business and product or service. As discussed in this project, there are many different UV-absorbing sunscreen chemicals. Some of them have already been banned in several locations. Take a closer look at all the active ingredients in chemical or physical sunscreens. Do some research to find out what their function is and if there are any health or toxicity issues associated with them. To fill the applicator, you need to simply unscrew the main body from the top section. The Yellow/Orange section is where you fill up on sunscreen. I don’t know the actual volume it can take but I managed to fill mine using around 100ml of sunscreen from my bottle. So, each re-fill will last quite a long time.
